It’s been 25 years since Destiny’s Child blew Us away with Survivor — an anniversary that Beyoncé will never forget.
“Today celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Destiny’s Child‘s third album, Survivor ❤️????????,” Beyoncé, 44, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, April 25. “To my soul sisters, I thank God for you both. It’s an honor to sing through life with you ladies by my side.”
She continued, “Behind the curtains, beyond the lights, forever my Angels. Ma kee ta ta ????????????????????????.”
Destiny’s Child released their third album, Survivor, in April 2001, featuring hit tracks including “Survivor,” “Independent Woman Part I,” “Bootylicious” and “Nasty Girl.”
Beyoncé was a founding member of Destiny’s Child alongside Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. Roberson, 44, and Luckett, 45, left the girl group in 2000 before Michelle Williams came aboard. The group disbanded six years later when Beyoncé, Rowland, 45, and Williams, 46, all pursued solo careers.
While Beyoncé, Rowland and Williams have each found enormous success on their own, they have remained close. Beyoncé invited her former bandmates to perform at several of her concerts, including the 2018 Super Bowl halftime show, a headlining set at Coachella in 2018 and a 2025 Cowboy Carter Tour show.
Beyoncé’s dad, Mathew Knowles, has even been vocal about the girls’ decision to continue performing together while simultaneously supporting each other’s solo endeavors.
“I certainly hope so. I also understand that Kelly and Beyoncé are mothers and they have a family and that changes the dynamics,” Knowles, 74, exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2020. “Each one of the ladies are successful in their own right. They all have their individual solo careers. So coordinating family, careers, that’s a lot of juggling. I’m sure in due time the ladies will decide if that’s what they want to do and if they do or do not as supportive as I could be as their manager.”
He continued at the time, “[Their Coachella performance] shows how much they practiced, that 10 years later they cannot miss a beat. It’s just remarkable. It shows that their dedication was really there. I know these ladies, they have strong work ethics. I’m extremely proud of all three of them.”

Rowland shares two sons with her husband, Tim Weatherspoon, while Beyoncé and Jay-Z are parents of three.
Beyoncé and Rowland even recently cheered on Williams during a 2024 performance of Death Becomes Her on Broadway.
“I would actually love for them to [perform on Broadway],” Williams exclusively told Us in November 2024. “I think they’re very capable of starring in a Broadway show — absolutely!”
